Charles Lewis Tiffany set the time for New York City. He also set its pace.

A New York Icon

In 1853, founder Charles Lewis Tiffany installed a magnificent clock outside of Tiffany & Co. He did this long before public clocks became commonplace. It quickly became the most trusted public timepiece in New York. More and more, the people of this vital city set their watches to it. Over 162 years later, Tiffany’s Atlas clock still keeps perfect time as the world rushes past on Fifth Avenue.

The collection is inspired by the statue of Atlas holding a clock on the front of Tiffany’s Fifth Avenue store.
